Did I mention that I’m part of the AZ Chapter of SCBWI – Society of Children’s Books Writers and Illustrators? It’s a very long name for one if not the only association dedicated solely to improve the craft of the Children’s Books and their authors and illustrators. If you are not a member, join us.

We have a really strong Chapter in AZ – check out our newly, relaunched site. I’m the Co-Illustrators Representatives for the AZ Chapter. I bet you didn’t know that about me, did you?

Workshop will be held in Scottsdale on Saturday, October 4th. This workshop will focus on developing a provocative, narrative image that showcases the widest range of individual skills possible. Homework assignment required.

So the class was this past Monday. It was awesome! 15 ladies and I all having so much fun. I didn’t bring a camera but two of the girls that came took some pics. I’ll post them when I get them. Thanks, Laura and Mary. Can’t wait to get them posted!

Thanks to Mary Benton for her nice words in her blog. I’m glad you loved the workshop so much.

This past weekend I took a three day workshop with acrylic artist, Nancy Reyner. If you have thought about trying acrylics, she is the person to talk to. She is an awesome teacher. Really. And I’m a tough critic. Check her schedule of workshops. They are all worth a trip from anywhere. Otherwise, get her book.

Lost of mixed feelings from the loooooooong trip of 24 days around Italy. At the workshop I met an illustration buddy,Marta Montañá. Her blog is pretty cool. Her artwork isvery whimsical and sweet. Un gusto conocerte, Marta!

Saludos desde el otro lado del charco, como tu dices.

Have I mentioned that I’m giving a class in August? Yay! It will be part of Art Unraveled in Phoenix, AZ. Class shows my mixed media technique. You can read all about TINY PORTRAITS in the workshop’s site.

I’m excited and I look forward to it. I’m already prepping for it. I will complete some new pieces to show the guys at the class and will be posting images as I finish the new paintings.
